I have just come across this problem with a source code install. The way the system was build was using make DESTDIR=/arch/pkg/32/gnome- terminal-2.28.0 install etc for each gnome package. The contents of these directories was then copied onto a clean file system before being run under KVM.
Running gnome-terminal produced the app->default_profile_id != NULL error. I found the problem was to do with the fact that while the schema files were copied correctly into /etc/gconf/schemas these were not been properly installed into gconf. Running GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=xml:merged:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults /usr/bin/gconftool-2 --make-install-rule /etc/gconf/schemas/desktop_gnome_interface.schemas GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=xml:merged:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults /usr/bin/gconftool-2 --make-install-rule /etc/gconf/schemas/gnome-terminals.schemas put the necessary entries into gconf for gnome-terminal to work correctly. All source files are from GNOME 2.28.1. A quick test using gconftool-2 -R /apps/gnome-terminal should show if the profiles are installed in gconf correctly. -- gnome-terminal assert failure: ERROR:terminal-app.c:1444:terminal_app_init: assertion failed: (app->default_profile_id != NULL) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/436188 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
